It is the beginning of a new year and today I got to do something I don't often do. I met my sister and mom for breakfast and shopping. We went off and had our breakfast and decided to make a quick run to a local department store. We split up and after a bit, I heard my sister calling me. She said "Sister...look what I found." She had in her hand a "Jesus" doll that recited the Lord's prayer in Spanish when you pressed a button.
Thinking of an upcoming mission trip, she thought it would be perfect and put it in my basket. We went off wondering around like little girls cutting up and laughing and enjoying our relationship as sisters. When I found a computer case, we stopped for just a second to ask the cashier the price.
In waiting, I yelled at my sister and asked "Hey, where did you find Jesus? referring to the doll. In a flash, a lady in the store yelled out "He's everywhere!"
For some reason, I was reminded of Mary Magdelene when she went to the tomb to look for Jesus. When she did not find him she began to cry.
Two angels there asked "Woman, why are you crying?" and she responded "They have taken my Lord away, and I don't know where they have put him." [John 20:10-13]
Jesus was not lost, He was not misplaced, God knew just where Jesus was. While I did not know where my sister found the "Jesus" doll, I was pleased that the message was not lost when I asked "Where did you find Jesus?" He's everywhere!
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence, If I go up to the heavens, you are there, if I make my bed in the depths, you are there...Psalm 139:7-9
